What To Do, What To Do...

I would not allow her to come back until she is able to eat and drink normally. If she needs a special diet to improve her symptoms, she is still sick.

I would tell her mother she needs to stay home at least through Monday.

I truly dont understand this mother!

I don't either. Her daughter is in ICU and she's at work.... pretty unbelievable to me.

She was at work while the kid was in icu?? That's sad.

I had one of the worst bosses ever once but when he found out my son was in icu for rsv and pneumonia (again) he called me to tell me he was paying me for the days I would be out. I was a parttime employee so he didn't have to do that.

Work would have survived without her.

She would have survived without going in.

This irritates me.

[bunnyslippers]

That is horrible. I can't believe she went to work! I would lose my job before I would leave my baby alone in a hospital setting. I hate hospitals, and can't imagine leaving my child alone there, even when they are grown up!

I absolutely would put your foot down about Monday, and be firm about it. This poor baby needs to get better!!!!!

Omg I am literally about to flip out. Seriously,


So mom calls me after I fire off that email to both her and dad and over the phone tells me that dcg has been on antibiotics since tues so she should not be contageous anymore. That she is already on solid foods (miraculously since her email this morning) and that she's doin much better. The hospital released her this afternoon and since they did not know to get a doctors note they are stopping by the doctor today to get one. Which didn't sound like t was going to be from the hospital at all. Almost wondering if it will be written from a word document because she told me she will see me in the morning.

I swear to god…im sorry for my language but WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!

On top of it... I have an email from dad saying she went in Wednesday morning!! I can't even validate dates she was getting antibiotics.

Hun, YOU need to put a stop to this. If the parents of this child can't do what is best for her, then you'll have to.

Tell them regardless of what Doctor or hospital says, you do NOT feel comfortable taking this child until she is 100% PERFECT health.

Do NOT let this mother tell YOU what to do.

If she wants to ditch her child, that's on her.

You don't have to be a part of this.

I'm liking this phrase even more for DC problems:

Ain't no body got time for that!

She's lying. Hard.

Don't take that kid back without legit notes from the doctor.

[MarinaVanessa]

Ditto on the Dr's note. And I'd have it be from the Dr that assisted the DCG while she was at the hospital. Not someone else that doesn't know anything about the hospital visit.

Her baby is in ICU and she is at work? Really? That breaks my heart! Some people just shouldn't have kids. (

[mama0609]

Good grief! What on earth does this woman do for a living that would make her think she has to be at work while her daughter is in the hospital? I would lose my job before I let my kid stay in the hospital without me. I don't understand some people. I would not let her back in your care tomorrow! And NO break in payments. I can't wait to see what happens.

No kidding! My DS was in the hospital for several days and I didn't leave his side! I hope at least dad is there with her or it's too sad to even think about...

Are you sure she was even in the hospital?

Most cases when you are in ICU, you aren't just released. You actually are released into the regular hospital for a few days before being released.

ICU-Intensive Care Unit

If I read correctly she was only admitted yesterday and released today. I seriously doubt that she was in ICU at all. Especially if she was very lathargic, throwing up non-stop, and who put her on the antibotics? I thought she went to the Dr on Tuesday, so did he put her on them and then have them go to the hospital? Something really doesn't seem right on this!

INSIST the Dr. writes the note on his/her office letter head or the hospitals.

I would be tempted to even call the hospital, tell them you wanted to send her flowers and see if they will say if they had anyone there by that name or see if they will say when the child was discharged.

Exactly, my daughter was in the hospital twice before she was 12 months old. Once for what they thought was meningitis and they had to do a spinal tap. Which they forced me to leave the room for and I nearly went hysterical. That was the most agonizing 15 minutes I have ever had. She was in for like 4 days.

The second time she had tubes in and her adenoids taken out and they only kept her overnight because she was so young and had both done at once.

Both times, I didn't leave her side for longer than a bathroom visit the entire time and even then I kept the bathroom door open. I can't even FATHOM leaving the room with one that young let alone going to work! Even if my husband was there... I wouldn't leave the room.

I can guarantee you that she was at the hospital because there is no way on God's green earth that they didn't bring her since Tuesday on their own free will. I honestly think he told me she was in ICU for some "no pay" leverage so I'm not convinced that she actually was in ICU to be honest. On top of it I asked what hospital they were at on the off chance I would be able to stop up and check in and he never responded back to me I think because of that. Which was fine because after seeing some points made here I figured it was best that I don't go up anyway.

I called her back and told her that she can't come tomorrow. Upon her begging me and telling me the doctor at the hospital wrote them a release and she's on hard core antibiotics so she can't get sick yadda yadda, (which is crap because that won't do anything for a virus obviously) but she was willing to chance it anyway because the doctor thought it was fine and "released her into Daycare", she did confess that there were other things they found out were wrong that they had no idea about but she wouldn't go into detail about it. She kept changing the subject. The most she would tell me was that she was severely constipated as well as the other things they found out which was another thing she said they just missed and didn't realize. She still reeeeally pushed still to come back tomorrow but she's set to come Monday against my best discretion....

At this point I'm going to start documenting everything cause I'm really starting to get a bad feeling about this. She keeps saying that she didn't realize how sick she was but allegedly this started "Saturday". My sister in law said that she saw them Friday night at Target and she could hear her coughing and then screaming and crying and mom was just yelling at her to stop crying.

I don't really have a ton of complaints about them over all but every time she stays at dad's she comes to daycare wearing the same (often soiled) clothes she was wearing the prior day or her pajamas. They drop her with a wad of clean clothes even though it's in my handbook that they are supposed to bring her dressed in clean clothes and ready. Obviously not huge over a 7 month span but I think there is more going on here that I may not be aware of. As sick as she was Monday (the day I sent her home) she should not have even CONSIDERED bringing her let alone Tuesday after I sent her home Monday. I really opened a can of worms taking her but the way this is looking I'm not sure it will last much longer. Obviously their prioroties are COMPLETELY screwed up and I ain't got no time for that.

Screw fevers, I'm so sick of hearing about doctors notes and "well he/she doesn't have a fever". I am officially GOD in this house. They can all go to hell. ::

Sorry, I didn't mean that.... it's just been a rough week.
